THE FIRE WORKS DISPLAY

Ono OF tho Most Attractive Features OF tho

will be q display ouch as has never been

Yesterday, In the line Of large set pieces
thers will be the great seal Of West Viz

will be large, elaborate affairs. requiring

these act piecea there will be large batter,
les Of bombs, mtnes, rockets, can.

Tho whole programme will con.

II is not yet settled where
these works will be set OF. 1t has been
suggested, and the suggestion is q good

Of the creek. There would then be nc
danger OF anyone crowding about and
bang injured, and by firing from bargee
II would be sale 10 use Japanese bombs, a

dangerous to use when many people
are about. Fired from the barges
the river banks and the bridges would
permit thousands to witness the superb
exhibition. The committee ordered
through N. Schulz, who has generously
offered to turn over the invoices and let
the goods be had at the lowest trade p,ice.
